Check out this session if you are interested in the future of robots and how they may become the next platform for most software development to move to. The first half is big picture, non-Misty Robotics-focused and then a live-coding session will ensue...using code (JavaScript or Python) for something other than a web browser or mobile phone—you guessed it—on a robot.
Like what you see? Interested? Want a challenge? Stay for the follow-up session where you can get some up close and personal time with a Misty robot and try your hand at creating your own robot skills.
Plan on spending 2 hours with us and these very cute robots!
